Wait? There's people who pronounce Oregon with three syllables?

???????

Why

...It's not pronounced that way? I always thought it was Ore-eh-gon which I... guess is three. Maybe more like two and a half.

it's always been two syllables for me, where it's pronounced some what close to 'organ'

I say it was three. Ore eh gan

I've always said it with three

Oregonians pronounce it with three.

I say it with three

Always said it with three. The people I know from Oregon pronounce it with three, too.

it's. it's three syllables.

It's basically pronounced like oregano without the o at the end.

Well...not exactly. The A shifts.

Then three syllables, becuase that's "Or-eh-GAHN" (because the spice is "Or-eh-GAHN-oh"). (I may have been watching too many British cooking shows.)
